Matt Hancock

Former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care

Matt Hancock is a British Conservative politician who served as the UK’s Secretary of State for Health and Social Care from 2018 to 2021. He played a key role in the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, overseeing the NHS, lockdown measures, and the vaccine rollout. However, he resigned in June 2021 after CCTV footage revealed he was having an affair with his aide, Gina Coladangelo, breaching the social distancing rules he had enforced. Despite the scandal, he remained an MP and later appeared on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2022, sparking controversy. He has since focused on media, writing, and advocacy, including publishing Pandemic Diaries, a book about his time in government.
